Nietzsche

I’m speaking for myself but Beyond Good and Evil activated some kind of internal locus of control in me that I didn’t have prior. Idk if philosophy is your thing but worth a shot

about Death

I feel you so much. I used to have extreme existential anxiety so much so that sometimes I couldn‘t sleep. Lately this has changed I can’t exactly pin point why but there’s a couple of thoughts that calm me down. Firstly we as humans always think we have it all figured out and we know what happens after but even if you are atheist you don’t know what’s going to happen and probably never will. For me the fear that there’s just nothing after death just lights out was scary but how would we actually know this is going to happen, we see ourselves as omniscient although there are so many things that we will probably never discover or understand. You have to learn how to live with the uncontrollability and uncertainty of it. Secondly time passes anyways and death is inevitable no matter what you do. If I worry or if I don’t worry I’m going to die, might as well enjoy my time. Life is absurd. I think my existential dread calmed down a bit when I started reading Camus. Maybe life doesn’t have to have a meaning. If you’re interested in philosophy i definitely recommend reading Camus or there’s also youtube videos that summarise his Philosophy. I really liked „the fall“ and „the stranger“ and am currently reading „the myth of Sisyphus„. Maybe some of these things resonate with you :))

Pessimistic philosophers

These are my boys. For a good time read ‘The Trouble With Being Born’ by Cioran and anything related to Schopenhauer. I really enjoy the brief moment where they make me feel like an optimist. Warning: do not read while pregnant. If you don’t want to read, which I understand, then I guess I’m just recommending pessimism in general?

KOMOREBI (木漏れ日)

I recently discovered that there’s a Japanese word for the way sunlight makes its way through trees and I haven’t stopped noticing it since then :)

Whenever I’m getting ready I always have one of this guy’s videos in the background. The videos are super casual so it kinda feels like being on FaceTime, PLUS he’s relatable af

BE CRAZY

I talk to myself ALL the time, wether it’s in my own head or out loud. After all the only person that’s with you at all times is YOURSELF, so might as well talk to your OG friend :)
